Career

In 2012, Yacine released a mixtape called Day and Night for free download . He became known to a larger audience with the release of the trap single Kokaina in September 2016. With almost 10 million video views on YouTube within the first month, the music clip became the most successful German-language YouTube video of 2016, and in January 2018 it exceeded the 100 million view mark. The piece was also successful in the single charts: It reached number 16 in Germany and remained in the top 100 from the chart entry in September 2016 until May 2017, and in October of the same year the single achieved platinum status . In Austria the song rose to number 50. At the end of 2016, PULS listed Yacine as one of three promising rappers for the coming year.

At the end of February 2017, Yacine entered the German single charts again with a feature on the song Cazal by KMN gang member Zuna . On February 22, 2017, several shots were fired in the north of Dortmund . Disputes between Yacine and the rapper 18 Karat , also from Dortmund, are suspected to be the trigger . A concert planned for the following day at the Dortmund FZW was canceled. According to Yacine, he was hit by masked strangers in a car and injured the day before at the city's eastern crown .

In mid-July 2017, Yacine released Bon Voyage, the first single from his debut album Casia , which was released on October 13, 2017. The album reached high chart positions in German-speaking countries, and in October Yacine was awarded a gold record for the single . Yacine is the first rapper who managed to achieve gold status with his first two solo singles. A total of five singles were released from the debut album, all of which were able to enter the German single charts. At the end of January 2018, the music video for Kokaina was the first German-language rap video to reach 100 million views on YouTube.
